So when you plug in the environmental, health, road construction, and military protection/intervention, and tax subsidy costs of oil, how does it stack up to renewables? What's the true price per gallon? According to HF and IER...
They should have these numbers at the tips of their fingers, so chop chop!
Great! That's what they paid in 2011. What did they pay in 2009? How about 1993? Serious questions...BDKJMU wrote:Allow exploration off both coasts, ANWR, & other public lands & then maybe we wouldn't have to import any from the middle east and other undesireable places...kalm wrote:

There you go again with "subsidies". Govt taking less $$ doesn't "cost" anything.
And as far as income tax revenue, 2011:
Exxon Mobil 27.3 billion (42.3% effective tax rate)
Chevron 17.4 billion (43.3% effective tax rate)
Conoco Phillips 10.6 billion (45.5^ effective tax rate)
Occidental 2.9 billion (40.2% effective tax rate)

Thats over 58 billion in income taxes in 2011 just from those 4 oil companies alone. And that's just income taxes. Doesn't include all the other taxes that they pay, like property taxes. And all the taxes that their 6 figure # of employees pay. That's going to pay for an awfully lot of roads....

And why do they pay so much?
And how about answering my question?
